I know this is a meme, but if you're using these aren't you better off with a Windows/Linux box? You can shove an actual modern GPU in there as well and get considerably more peformance.

I struggle to think of workflows that require macOS for this, given it has conceeded the high end of performance to others.

The niche killer feature is the 800GB/s SSD ...so long as you only need 8TB.

You can't match that speed with nvme. Samsung 990 Pro only gets 7.3 GB/s sequential read.

You seem to be confusing RAM with SSD. Apple's SSD is nothing special.
